please check the differences of definition between breast and chest.

Editor: Webster's def #3 for "breast" ("the seat of emotion and thought") seems quite apt.
(MoE defines 膺 as 內心)

For "chest" Webster gives more anatomical definitions which seem less apt:
3a : thorax; especially : the part of the human body enclosed by the ribs and sternum
b : the fore or ventral part of the body between the neck and the abdomen

Which dictionary did you check?
Diff:

# + 義憤填膺 义愤填膺 [yi4 fen4 tian2 ying1] /righteous indignation fills one's chest (idiom); to feel indignant at injustice/
= 義憤填膺 义愤填膺 [yi4 fen4 tian2 ying1] /righteous indignation fills one's breast (idiom); to feel indignant at injustice/
